Horoscopes

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be prepared to do your share to make either a mental or physical contribution to help finish work still needed on a project that others in the household already started.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) If you're making any social plans for the weekend, be sure to include long-standing friends because they'll be the most fun to spend time with. Do something with your newer friends another time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) Anything to which you put your hand is likely to be done with great flare and in such a superior manner that it'll win you the admiration of your peers. Take your bows graciously.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You could be the very person to show another who is depressed how to view things in a positive light instead of only seeing the negative side of things. It's a lesson your pal really needs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) By following your instincts you should be able to manage what needs to be done in ways that will produce desirable results. The successful way you handle things won't be by accident.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) A tough project you take on with someone who is much more experienced than you has stronger than usual chances for success. Don't hesitate to team up with just such a person.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Don't waste your time on meaningless projects or situations that can't make any contribution to your material well-being. However, with a little elbow grease, you should be able to gain much.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) When you see something being mismanaged or handled all wrong, you are likely to step in and show others just how it can be done properly. They'll appreciate your input.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It's good to be ambitious and take on a monumental task, but you'd be smarter to do so in the quiet of your own surroundings without any kibitzers around. The job will go much easier for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Not everyone is good at handling intangible situations, but you are. If those around you are trying to figure out how to do so, don't hesitate to step in and run the show. They'll appreciate it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Today is the day to collect something that is owed you. It probably won't take much; merely a simply reminder should do it. However, if I'm wrong, don't hesitate to be demanding.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You rarely feel comfortable being a follower, so don't stand back when leadership is called for. Step forward and take charge of whatever it is that needs direction. Your input will be welcomed.
